Got my Fantasy General up and runnin' with Dosbox. Now, everything goes smoothly up until it's time to get into real action. When I've placed my units and it's time to go (i.e. when I click End Placement button), the game crashes and sends me back to the Dosbox command prompt. The message displayed is somewhat like this:

DOS 4GW professional error (2001): exception 01h (debug exception) at 180:000..
and so on.

I'm running Dosbox version 0.72. I've tried to tweak the sound settings, didn't have any effect. But somehow I'm quite sure this has nothing to do with sound..

Anyone outhere have any idea what's going on?

And yes, my operation system is Windows XP. If that matters.

Did you download the game from here?

The different versions of DOS4GW had bugs that showed up in some machines, sometimes replacing it with the latest version (1.97 I think) makes the game stop crashing. (Happened to me with Syndicate.)

Anyway downloading the game from here and running with the latest version of DOSBox should work, almost sure, haven't checked though.

Yes, I did download it from here. And thanks for the info!

Could be that the problem is with DOS4GW. However, I didn't try to update it, because I just ran the thing with VDMSound, as advised somewhere in this thread. The mouse pointer still works somewhat buggily - even though I use the mouse2kv.exe that comes with VDMSound. But, I can live with that.

And I must say that it's one hell of a game! Never played it before, didn't know what to expect, but damn it's a good one!

I've been itching to get a good strategy game for some time now. And that's because of Battle of the Gobwin Knob, of course

Got a question: What happened to the download-button? Doesn´t work, only ads show up.
